Adelphia Street
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Adelphia Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Stanton Heights |
| Second Street (until 1881) | |
| Origin of name | Sequential numbering in a plan of lots |
The portion of this street between about Hawthorne Court and Edisto Street was laid out as Second Street in 1874 in a plan of lots for the Sharpsburg and Etna Savings Bank.[1] The part east of Edisto Street was laid out the same year in a plan of lots for John H. Sawyer, though that plan did not give it a name.[2] Sawyer was the president of the Sharpsburg and Etna Savings Bank.[1]
In 1881 a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets to fix duplicates. There was another Second Street downtown, so this street (the whole length) was renamed Adelphia Street.[3]
